I hired Derek to cater a bridesmaid brunch for some friends of mine in my home and could not have asked for a more delicious turnout!! Not only was the food absolutely amazing, the presentation was also absolutely stunning! Derek is a true professional in every sense of the word. I will absolutely use his services again!!
